With more Canadian homeowners investing in solar, these systems are becoming a permanent fixture in the housing market. As a home inspector, this presents a valuable opportunity to expand your services and provide buyers with the critical insights they need about a home’s solar system.
Just like any other major component of a home, buyers need assurance that they’re not inheriting hidden solar issues. They expect a functional, efficient, and long-lasting system—one that delivers the energy savings they’re counting on.
Join us for this seminar to learn how you can seamlessly integrate solar inspections into your business. We’ll show you how to conduct a solar inspection in 20 minutes or less during a standard home inspection, offer standalone solar inspections, and increase your earnings per inspection—all while providing home buyers with a professional, easy-to-read solar report detailing system performance, remaining lifespan, safety, and installation quality.
Don’t miss this chance to stay ahead of the curve and add a high-value service that home buyers and real estate agents are looking for! Sample Report Link
